This past week we focused on expository text about bats in language arts. The students now know many facts about bats. I hope you enjoyed their bat video that they made with the Chatter Kid app on their iPads. As we learned about these nocturnal creatures, we discussed the various features of expository text. During writing, we continued to work on writing captions. The students chose a topic that they are experts at and wrote captions for pictures they illustrated.
In science, we learned all about patterns of movement. We used vocabulary words such as above, below, in front of, behind, beside, zigzag and between. We made our own marble movement art and it is displayed in the hallway. Ask your child how we created this art!
During math we focused on numbers that were more or less than a given numeral. The students identified how many items were in a given set and then decided if another set was more or less.
For social studies we continued to learn about culture and traditions. We focused on Thanksgiving and the traditions and celebrations surrounding this holiday. The Monkeys had a great time discussing what they are thankful for and made some super cute turkey hats!
We enjoyed learning about our superstar student Sophia D.'s life and interests this past week!
